Kenneth did you read what Burp posted for you? I remember you boasted that the court was stacked in favor of Obama...lol Health-Law Mandate Ruled Unconstitutional Article Comments (124) By BRENT KENDALL A divided U.S. appeals court in Atlanta ruled Friday that a key provision of last year's federal health-care overhaul is unconstitutional, siding with a group of 26 states that challenged the law. The 2-1 ruling marks the Obama administration's biggest defeat to date in the multifront legal battle over the health-care law. The decision directly conflicts with a ruling issued in June by a federal appeals court in Cincinnati that upheld the law. Previously Employers Lobby to Weaken Insurance Mandate 7/13/11 Appeals Court Says Health Law Is Constitutional 6/30/11 Law Blog: Battle Over Health-Care Law Moves to Atlanta 6/8/11 The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled that Congress exceeded its constitutional powers when it required individuals to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty. "This economic mandate represents a wholly novel and potentially unbounded assertion of congressional authority: the ability to compel Americans to purchase an expensive health insurance product they have elected not to buy, and to make them re-purchase that insurance product every month for their entire lives," Judges Joel Dubina and Frank Hull said in a jointly written opinion. The decision affirmed part of a January ruling by U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson of Florida, who ruled the health-insurance mandate unconstitutional. The appeals court, however, overturned the portion of Judge Vinson's decision that voided the entire health-care law. The appeals panel said the unconstitutional insurance mandate could be severed from the rest of the law, with other provisions remaining "legally operative." The Cincinnati-based Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the health law on a 2-1 vote in June. The Supreme Court is widely expected to provide the final word on the law's constitutionality, possibly as soon as its next term, which begins in October and runs through June 2012.

Kenny, posting observations, facts and truth is NOT attacking somebody., especially from Tonto or Tide. Now, when it come to me, I might do it occasionally, especially if the targets are moronic self-absorbed uneducated nitwits like Paul, who is most likely Paula.
